Well if this is Mother natures way of a joke its very cruel.I have a nice elm or oak that the buds opened up with 3 days of warm weather we had.Then we had a hard freeze last night.Well the buds are brown now indicating damage from the freeze.

Stupid trees, Mother nature has been pulling this same lame joke for millions of years and the trees fall for it every time... 
I am conflicted. Cold weather means I can't ride but also that I don't have to collect sap and boil it.
Luckily, sugar maple trees are not as easily fooled as are elms and oaks. They stubbornly refuse to bud until they get over a week of warm weather (or April 12-15th around here).

Yeah I think this is what this tree is that buds are out its a sugar maple.Has very vivid colored leaves in the fall.Anyway I looked at the buds yesterday they`re dead.
